My Interest and Future Specialty



I've always had some interest in specialization before I had enter Medical School and they had gone missing since I'm in med school. Was surfing the net when I saw this aptitude test from University of Virginia.

Seems that it can be rather accurate though, and below is my results. :P

2 emergency med 41
3 dermatology 41
4 med oncology 40
5 gastroenterology 40

24 pulmonology 35
25 otolaryngology 35

27 allergy & immunology 34
28 infectious disease 33
29 hematology 33
30 nephrology 33

32 plastic surgery 32
33 orthopaedic surgery 32
34 cardiology 32
35 colon & rectal surgery 32
36 anesthesiology 32


Anyway, not bad for a start, since I had wanted to be a dermatologist (Only USM offer that locally, and Kubang Kerian is not a place I want to be for 4-5 years), and the next was a psychologist. Well, psychiatrist is somewhat like psychologist though. XP

I had no idea how they did it, since they asked general questions and the top 7 are rather close to my area of interests. *wink* So, I'll just see if I really get to be one of the top ten choices. Hehe..
